Introduction My "lutin de feu" (fire imp) avatar's name is the adopted pen name of 18th c. English poet, Christopher Smart. We think everyone should have a motto. Our motto is, "See what a little fire can inspire." Unlike "Kit" Smart, I work full-time in an academic library. I do all the shopping and cooking for my wife and myself (as I have for over 30 years now); unconventional for sure, but it works for us.
